Congress Challenges Trump on Vetoes, Health, War and Spending
The New York Times••general
Key Points:
- House Republicans planned to override President Trump's first two vetoes of his second term involving bipartisan bills on a pipeline project in Colorado and Native American control in the Everglades, both previously passed unanimously.
- The Senate advanced legislation aimed at limiting Trump's authority to use military force in Venezuela, signaling increased congressional pushback on his foreign policy decisions.
- The House was also expected to pass a bill extending Affordable Care Act subsidies, despite opposition from Trump and top Republicans, though the measure was unlikely to become law.
- While some Republican lawmakers showed willingness to challenge Trump on specific issues, broader efforts to check his power faced significant obstacles in both chambers of Congress.
